Scandinavian goddess of fate (4)
I believe the answer is:
norn
'scandinavian goddess of fate' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for norn that I've seen before include "Old language of Orkney and Shetland" , "Amundsen's fate" , "Norse fate goddess" , "Former Orkney/Shetland language" , "Orkney/Shetland tongue" .)
